20% is huge on cheaper (i.e not horribly expensive) EV 's when you'll already be on the edge of your range for daily use. Luckily though, most people don't live in northern latitudes.
Eh, even as someone who on a global political scale is left leaning, I've been hesitant to donate to Mozilla. I'd love to support the browser development, but the fact that they siphon off money from that to support political activities and organizations (especially when some of them are downright corrupt, like BLM) turns me off from that.
When I want to donate to a political organization, I'll do that directly. What I want Mozilla to do, most of all, is keep firefox (and by extension gecko) alive, and thereby maintain internet freedom.
Great that the plan is for the entire economy. Cheap and reliable clean electricity is possibly the most important and straightforward(ish) issue to solve with steel and concrete sitting at the opposite end of the spectrum.
Yeah, that's the real "internet explorer of messaging services". Absolutely sucks to use it (doesn't even.deliver messages to me half the time), but 90% insist on it for chat groupa and such.
The unfortunate reality is that the arbitrary "rights holders" have leveraged their held rights to gain a lot of money, unlike the maintainers of lemmy.world, which don't have a bunch of cash lying around.
In this day and age, money can create allegations to drown someone in lawyers, and just defending against such allegations, regardless of their validity, can be prohibitively expensive.
There's a special sort of beauty to the road that India had to independence. Being mostly peaceful, and securing a democratic constitution for one of the largest nations on earth.
If the people of India can maintain their democratic institutions, they may perhaps surpass the US as the most influential free nation on the planet during the 21st century.
100% this. I'm glad it's working for them. Rubbish bins have been disappearing here in Sweden too, and not just on nature trails. Unfortunately, many new residents don't have the same strict attitude against littering. Now I see plastic and paper bags flying across the fields in the wind and plenty of other litter around in the streets. It's strange how much these things can change in just a few years.
Yes and no. Getting all the tools you need can be a significant expense for someone poor, and you gotta have somewhere to keep it all (such as a garage). Unfortunately one of those "gotta have money to save money" type of situations. DIY undoubtedly is cheaper though (and sort of fun).
Yes I can, Sweden, born in the 00's and my car is a 90s manual.
